Abstract : This research work presents an idea for detecting an unknown human face in an input imagery and recognizing the facial expression. The objective of this research is to develop a highly intelligent android application for facial expression recognition. A Facial Expression Recognition system needs to solve the following problems: detection and location of faces in a clustered scene, facial feature extraction, and facial expression classification. In this research work three basic expressions were considered, which are: Happy, Sad, and Angry. Georgia Tech face detection dataset and some locally captured face of Federal University of Technology, Akure students were also used. Local Binary Pattern (LBP) and Random Forest (RF) were used for Feature Extraction and classification respectively for the three emotions. The experiments show that the proposed facial expression recognition framework yields 80% accuracy for angry gesture, 60% for sad gesture and 73.33% for happy gesture.

Keywords : facial expression, detection, recognition, gesture classification and feature extraction.
